Once all the paperwork has been submitted it will be reviewed by one of our volunteers.  We will contact you to clarify any questions we may have and assist in setting up an appointment at a volunteer’s home or be invited to an adoption event where a knowledgeable member of our volunteer staff will be available to answer questions about behavior, training, veterinary care, how to deal with introductions to current pets, and anything else you can think of.

You will be asked to sign an adoption contract and pay an adoption fee. This fee covers spaying or neutering, veterinary care, deworming, vaccines, food, and other items your pet has received while in our care.

PLEASE NOTE: We cannot hold animals for anyone. Unfortunately, because of the tremendous demands on our foster homes, all adoptions must be done on a first-come, first-served basis, and the first good, properly qualified prospective home will get the pet

LET US REPEAT: We do not ever mean to be frustrating or evasive with you. We want you to understand that it’s stressful and upsetting-in fact, downright devastating - for the animals, for our volunteers, and most importantly, for you when adoptions don’t work out and pets have to come back to us. And a bad adoption experience can sour some people on shelter animals — for life.

So try to bear with us and be patient. Understand that going through the process the way we do really is the best policy- for all of us.

Before you adopt, please take a moment to watch our video to get a better understanding of where these dogs come from.
